AGM

Vicki Ford.  Anyone ( like her) who uses the phrase  " build back better" needs to be treated with caution.

I thought we had appointed a high class hugely expensive recruitment/ head hunting company to come up with the short list and appoint the none elected board members. Surely they are the ones most exposed to criticism altho' I suppose JS appointed them and accepted their recommendations so can't be let off scot free (can I say that now?). Ford and O'Brian - an MP and ex MP of the Tory persuasion- are both Truss acolytes. Perhaps someone should apprise the treasurer and fast.

Do I remember the club advising the membership to vote for the vetted nominations and not the ad hoc ones in case the club got into more trouble? Maybe they should trust the membership more.

What an utter shambles of a club we are. An embarrassment to members and fans alike. If we were a dog, we'd have been put down years ago. When the ECB does eventually dispose of us it will be seen as an act of mercy.

Now then, they had a nice website an’ all…

He was a direct appointment and not in the ballot.

Surely that is even worse.
I bet John Faragher doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

They wanted a BAME chairman at almost any cost. Well now they are going to find out the cost.

[stewyww]

Why does everything have to be about wokeness or otherwise? Maybe with his experience he was simply the best person for the job.

And maybe not eh?

[dazedpenguin]

He has excellent credentials and probably was the best candidate (admittedly we don't know who the others were). The fact that no one saw fit to go through his social media is another matter. That's the fault of the recruiters and JS was entitled to expect that they had done their due diligence.

Best candidate? Are you for real? Sounds like a piece of work to me.

He was uniquely qualified in one essential characteristic and we all know what that is.

[Suffolk Richard]

Its not good and the club could be subject to a lot of criticism from those not associated with it. The membership need to stick together and make sure those that are running the club are going to reset the platform so we can move on.

I said his credentials for the job were good. I'm not defending the lack of due diligence in checking his social media, or the Twitter posts he liked.

For all its faults there is a reason why democracy is the best form of appointing leaders. If the entire board had been subject to election then there would have been many more eyes on the background of all the candidates and it is likely this mess would have been avoided.
